Chapter 394: Message from the Master of Tianji Tower

“Junior brother, since they’ve told the truth, why not give them a chance to live?”

the gray-robed man sighed, looking at the piles of flesh.

At their current height, falling unconscious would be no different from an ordinary person, even for a Xiantian realm warrior.

There was no other outcome except death by the impact.

“These ants’ spirits are too weak. After being searched, their minds have collapsed, turning them into idiots. Living is a pain.

I’m simply trying to help them out.”

The white-robed young man smiled faintly, his tone expression impassive.

To him, simply crushing a few ants was nothing.

“…”

The gray-robed man was silent for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

He knew his junior brother’s character was always somewhat cruel.

Those who could cultivate to their level, with a steadfast mind, wouldn’t change so easily.

Moreover, his junior brother had been frustrated before. If he hadn’t considered the laws of nature in this area and wanted to avoid being tainted by too much sin, his methods would likely have been even more brutal.

“Brother, you’re still so soft-hearted. They’re just some indigenous ants, why take them so seriously?

But you heard what those ants just said, didn’t you?”

The white-robed young man’s face lit up with excitement. “This small world is surprisingly rich in secret realms, and some have even revived and opened!”

“I thought it was just a barren, insignificant little world, but I didn’t expect it to be such a uniquely structured, precious little world teeming with secret realms.”

The gray-robed man’s eyes also flickered with excitement.

Whether large or small, secret realms are incredibly special.

The unique nature of their spaces often breeds rare and precious artifacts.

If that meant this small world’s value was far greater than he’d anticipated.

“Brother, should we search for the four secret places first, or the newly revived secret realm?” the white-robed young man asked.

The gray-robed man pondered for a moment. “From what that person just said, the four secret places have a long history. They’re obviously some forces that have survived in secret realms since a previous era of immortal cultivation in this small world.

These secret realms have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, so they’re probably as strong as a rock and won’t be easily breached.

You and I have just arrived, and we haven’t yet fully adapted to the laws of

this world. Once we’re thoroughly familiar with the rules, it won’t be too late to explore those secret places.”

“Okay,” the white-robed youth nodded. “A secret realm that has lasted for tens of thousands of years must be guarded by magical artifacts of higher caliber than spiritual weapons. Brother, it looks like we’re in for a big harvest this time.”

The white-robed youth’s eyes were intense.

The preciousness of spiritual artifacts was self-evident.

Even in the great world, they were considered top-tier treasures.

As a Jindan realm cultivator, he didn’t possess a single spiritual artifact, and his best magical artifact was only a top-grade treasure.

If he could obtain one or two spiritual artifacts in this small world, his gains would be enormous.

It would truly be a huge increase in strength!

The two brothers chatted and laughed, but their figures transformed into two streams of light and flew away.

From beginning to end, they never once glanced at the tragic scene in the Holy City below. It was not

until the two figures had completely disappeared for a long time, and the Holy City was in a dead silence, that people gradually dared to come out.

Soon after, crying was heard.

…

Lu Qing was naturally unaware of what had happened in Zhongzhou.

He continued to practice leisurely every day, feeling the continuous growth of his inner cultivation, and was very satisfied.

Until a few days later, Lin Zhirui arrived at the small courtyard halfway up the mountain with a serious face.

“Young Master Lu, something terrible has happened in Zhongzhou.”

“Something terrible, what terrible thing?” Lu Qing was stunned.

“I received a message from my master. A few days ago, calamity clouds appeared on the top of the Holy Mountain. The First Saint Lord broke through the barrier, triggering his own calamity and transcending the tribulation.”

“The First Saint Lord transcended the tribulation?”

Lu Qing was a little surprised, but not overly shocked.

He had long expected someone to transcend the tribulation recently, but he had never expected the first person to do so would be not some old man in seclusion in one of the four secret places, but the First Saint Lord of the Holy Mountain.

“Did the First Saint Lord successfully survive the tribulation?”

“Master said that the First Saint Lord survived the thunder tribulation safely, and his cultivation entered a new realm.

But that’s not the point. The point is that, just as the First Saint Lord had just survived the thunder tribulation, two mysterious individuals suddenly appeared.

One of them, with a single strike, severely injured the First Saint Lord, nearly forcing him to capture.

Then, the two mysterious individuals flew above the Holy City and unleashed a massive magical palm.

With a single strike, they left a palm print hundreds of feet in radius across the Holy City, wiping out thousands of its inhabitants.”

“What are you talking about? A mysterious and powerful individual, with a single strike, severely injured the First Saint Lord who had survived the thunder tribulation?”

This truly shocked Lu Qing.

Given the First Saint Lord’s level of cultivation, having survived the thunder tribulation, he must have achieved the Golden Core stage.

Even if he had just survived the tribulation and was in a weakened state, he was still a true Golden Core cultivator, far superior to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

To be severely injured by a single strike, could it be that the attacker was a powerful being above the Golden Core stage?

But the Heavenly Dao Sound had only just rang five times. Where could a powerhouse above the Golden Core Realm have come from?

“Yes, that’s what the First Saint Lord said personally after contacting Master.

The Saint Lord also said that those two mysterious powerful individuals were likely aliens.

Their cultivation was unfathomable, and he warned Master and the others not to provoke their anger, lest they bring about a catastrophic disaster!”

“Aliens!”

Lu Qing was even more shocked.

The “flame” within the Lihuo Cauldron also vibrated.

“Master said this was just the Saint Lord’s speculation, and there was no way to verify it.

But Master sent a message to me, asking us disciples of the Tianji Tower traveling abroad to be extremely careful not to provoke those two mysterious individuals.

According to reports from elsewhere

, after leaving the Holy City, those two mysterious individuals appeared in several recently contested cave paradises, which have been fiercely contested by the major forces of Zhongzhou.

With swift and swift means, they annihilated several sects and completely occupied these cave paradises.”

“…”

The news Lin Zhirui brought was so shocking that even Lu Qing took more than ten breaths to calm down.

He exhaled and smiled, “I understand. Such a big deal, thank you, Master Zhirui, for coming to tell me.”

News from Cang County was still too isolated.

Even the Wei family knew very little about what was happening in Zhongzhou.

If Lin Zhirui hadn’t been here, he might have had to wait a while before he learned about this.

“You’re welcome, but Mr. Lu, in your opinion, are those two mysterious people really aliens?”

To be honest, when Lin Zhirui received the news from his master, he was even more shocked than Lu Qing.

So he also wanted to know the origins of those two mysterious people who were able to defeat the First Saint Lord.
